April is still recycled instruments month!! Every year, we look at ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle our trash into instruments. Start looking around your house now to make these projects starting the week of April 20th! Each project will have a how-to video to go with it.
Kindergarten- empty toilet paper roll and dry popcorn/rice/beans
First grade- metal jar lid (like from sauce, salsa, candles, peanut butter, etc.), popsicle stick, two or three rubber bands
Second grade- plastic Easter egg, dry popcorn/rice/beans, two spoons, tape
Third grade- empty Kleenex box (the LOOOONG kind that opens on the top), paper towel roll, pipe cleaner
Fourth grade- clean empty container WITH a lid that could be used as a drum (yogurt container, butter container, oatmeal), wrapping paper and whatever crafty decor you can find. Feathers? Beads? String?
In the spirit of recycling things, check out this awesome video below for a cool way to reuse plastic bottles!!
